As part of this colloquium, there will be a keynote panel on "Redeeming Punishment: Catholic Approaches to Criminal Justice Reform," featuring Dean Strang, Cecelia Klingele, Rev. Javier del Castillo, and Secretary Kevin Carr, moderated by the Hon. Thomas Donnelly. This keynote event is open to the public. Attendance for the full colloquium is invite-only.
